The clinical features of respiratory infections caused by the Streptococcus anginosus group
BACKGROUND The Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) play important roles in respiratory infections. It is ordinarily difficult to distinguish them from contaminations as the causative pathogens of respiratory infections because they are often cultured in respiratory specimens. Therefore, it is important to understand the clinical characteristics and laboratory findings of respiratory infections ...
متن کاملStreptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus (the Streptococcus milleri group): association with different body sites and clinical infections.
The associations of Streptococcus intermedius, S. constellatus, and S. anginosus (the three species of the S. milleri group) with clinical infections and sites of isolation were investigated by using a simple biochemical scheme to identify a collection of 153 clinical isolates. S. intermedius was associated with abscesses of the brain and liver, while both S. anginosus and S. constellatus were ...
متن کاملContribution of Streptococcus anginosus to Infections Caused by Groups C and G Streptococci, Southern India
Vellore, a region in southern India, has a high incidence of severe human infections with Beta-hemolytic group C and G streptococci (GCGS). To determine the causative species in these infections, we conducted 16S rRNA gene sequencing: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (81%) and S. anginosus (19%) were the causative organisms in the 2-year study period (2006-2007). We used PCR to det...
متن کاملSpontaneous fracture of the femur due to osteomyelitis caused by the Streptococcus anginosus group.
A 57-year-old man was admitted because of pain in the right upper leg due to an osteolytic lesion of the femoral bone which was complicated by a spontaneous fracture. At first a malignancy was suspected. However, blood and bone cultures revealed the Streptococcus anginosus group. A diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis was made. In spite of extensive antibiotic and surgical treatment the patient dev...
متن کاملMicrobiology and Management of Pediatric Liver Abscesses: Two Cases Caused by Streptococcus anginosus Group
Pyogenic liver abscesses in the pediatric population are rare occurrences in the developed world. We present two cases of previously healthy males presenting with fever and abdominal pain found to have liver abscesses due to organisms in the Streptococcus anginosus group. The microbiology of S. anginosus along with the management and recommended treatment in children with liver abscesses is dis...
